Steam for Linux

Hey guys, I really need help. I recently installed TF2 on my linux computer, (dual hardrive, windows and linux on 1 computer) and I started it, but it did not give me the tux. I checked my steam backpack from the website, I checked my backpack in-game, but nothing worked. I really need help, because the event ends in like 2-3 days.

Here's what is most likely the problem:

I am running Linux Ubuntu 11.04...

I will update linux overnight and get back to you if it gets fixed, in the time being, please post fixes if you find one.

Haha, yeah. The reason why I haven't updated it in a long time is because my computer is a double hard drive computer, and I mainly use Windows. Windows has more RAM than my Linux hard drive so it is just much faster and can actually run half the programs that Linux can't.

10) Steam ran, not enough disk space to install TF2. I then went through and deleted a bunch of crap.

11) RE-INSTALLED TF2 SINCE THE WINDOWS VERSION WAS IN ITS OWN FOLDER."Estimated Download Time: 6 days 9 hours 31 minutes" ...

12) ??? Currently re-installing.

What do I get for spending hours of my time on this? A Tux. Where the people without them are jelly and think they will be worth absolutely nothing.

1, probably was due to it not having glibc 2.15. 2, see above on wine != Linux3, if you were using the Windows client, you downloaded the Windows version, not the Linux version4, assuming it was under wine, you're still on the Windows version.5, see 3 and 4.7, again, not the Linux client or version.8, The client was built against bleeding edge Ubuntu, odds are that most would have to update drivers. 11, the Windows version of TF2 wasn't ever relevant in the first place.

So. I got the Tux. :DYeah, I really do not use Linux much at all, so I was not prepared to do hands on updating, downloading, and upgrading all at once. I agree with your opinion on Wine.

Installed Ubuntu 12.04 and updated it and after a lot of hassle got the correct graphic driver installed.Then I downloaded the .deb-file for Steam from the wiki.Then I logged in, and installed Team Fortress 2 and it's Linux due to the lack of games under library there.When TF2 finished downloading, I launched it and played for around 30-60 minutes.
